The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a

SUMMARY

Grid Systems ships an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) version of Windows version 3.0 with its laptop and portable computers. This version of Windows installs a file called WIN.BAT into the MS-DOS subdirectory.

WIN.BAT determines how much power is available to the system and, according to the amount available, starts Windows in real, standard, or enhanced mode. This makes it appear that Windows is randomly deciding which mode to go into.

MORE INFORMATION

WIN.BAT prevents the system from going into a mode of Windows that it does not have sufficient power to support. For example, running Windows in enhanced mode when the system is low on power causes the system to stop responding (hang), and possibly lose data.

The products included here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these product's performance or reliability.
